Manchester United have sent shock waves round the Nou Camp as they are
set to execute a £173million move with £416,000-a-week contract offer
for Brazil/Barcelona star Neymar Jr.
various reports in Spanish and Brazilian media outlets, Britain’s
richest and most successful club is set to trigger Neymar’s release
clause (£173million) this summer, with club manager, Jose Mourinho in
search of an elite signing that will take the club to new heights as the
futures of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Wayne Rooney remain uncertain.
Neymar
is appreciated in Barcelona but knows he won’t ever be seen in the same
light as Lionel Messi, but knows at Man U he will be an automatic
leader and at the age of 25 will surely be given god-like status at the
club.
Neymar also knows that the £416,000-a-week salary
can’t be rivaled by Barcelona or even other English clubs like Man City
and Chelsea, but has informed his agent he won’t move to a club that
won’t be playing champions league football.
Neymar
also knows he is very unlikely to win the Ballon D’or while playing in
the same team as Lionel Messi and sees England as a good destination,
that could also positively affect his marketing potential.
Mourinho’s
men face an uphill task of making the top four in the Premier League —
but could earn participation in the UEFA champions league next season by
triumphing in the Europa League.
